30 years.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever!
Tear-dimmcd eyes shall gaze in vain;
We shall hear her voice, oh never,
Never more on earth again.
Home is sad, oh God, how dreay-
Lonesome, lonesome every spot,
Listening for her voice, till weary,
Weary, for We hear il not

From the spirit world above
That these hearts, all crushed and broke n,
May be healed by heavenly love.

After long illness of severe bodily suf-
fering our beloved grandmother has fallen
asleep in Jesus, To awaken in the realms
above. There she shall ever live and reign
with Him whom she so faithfully loved on
earth.
She was devoted wife, kind, tender and
loving mother, an obliging neighbor, an
earnest and true Christian. She expe-
rienced enough of mortal i'll TO brighten her
immortal bliss, which she has now, we
trust, gone home TO enjoy forever. Below
ed friends and bereaved ones weep not for
her, for she has been taken to an everlast-
ing home of righteousness; but rather weep
that We are not as free from earthly tolls
and troubles and with her in heaven. Be-
loved children, weep no more, for she Is at
rest, and You will soon be called TO meet
her where you will not weep but rejoice
with her forever. The fatal wound that
has been inflicted upon you can never he
healed, but the example she has set You
should be blessing 70 guide you through

Yea. the night dew that falls upon her,
Though in silence il wceps.
Shall brighten with green verdure
The grave where she sleeps.
Ard the tears that We shed for her.
Though in secret they roll,
Shall forever keep her memory
Ever green in our souls.
